Brushing Our Teeth with Bentonite Clay

I’ve tried quite a few “natural” toothpastes, but I really didn’t like the way they made my teeth feel — not clean and sometimes overly sensitive — so I’ve always ended up switching back to my regular toothpaste.

Then, I had the opportunity to try Earthpaste from the makers of Real Salt and Redmond Clay, and I gotta tell you…I was skeptical. I actually left the sealed tubes in the back of our bathroom cabinet for a few weeks while I finished my current tube, and then I reluctantly opened one to give it a try.

Earthpaste is, in fact, made from Redmond Clay, which we tend to refer to as “mud” in our house, so I wasn’t too sure about this idea of brushing my teeth with clay or mud. But the thing about bentonite clay is that it draws impurities out whenever it’s applied, so it actually works really well to clean everything from wounds to teeth.

Once I finally decided to give Earthpaste a try, I was shocked by how much I liked it. My teeth and mouth feel really, really clean after I brush. And not a fake all-I-can-taste-is-spearmint clean, but actually, truly clean.

This is a sponsored post; however, all opinions are 100% my own. I was sent two tubes of Earthpaste to try — wintergreen and cinnamon — but our family has purchased additional tubes of wintergreen Earthpaste so that we can continue using it after those run out!

Mandi, Did you feel like the Earthpaste helped with tooth sensitivity? I’ve heard conflicting things about it’s abrasiveness to teeth. Thank you! Courtney

Hi, I'm Mandi, and I'm so glad you're here!

A few things you should know about me: I'm a wife and mother of 6, as well as a full-time work-at-home mom, a passionate entrepreneur, a homeschooler, and an INTJ, with a heavy emphasis on the introvert! And I'm pretty sure fair-trade chocolate, loose leaf tea, and Starbucks lattes are among life's greatest pleasures.
